Teach

PHYSICS

Physics is the set of iron rules that all contraptions follow: how the ropes and pulleys work and how far objects fly. While playing Contraption Maker, students see physics in action and can iterate accordingly.

ENGINEERING

Engineering is where theoretical knowledge and practice meet: students apply their understanding of physics and maths and use it to solve problems. Contraption Maker is the perfect playground for budding engineers.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

Problem-solving is one of the key 21st century skills of today. Contraption Maker is one of the easiest ways to practice those skills in the classroom. Compare and share solutions in the class to find new perspectives!
